"Chez Fifi releases reservations at midnight, three weeks in advance. Later reservations are occasionally available at shorter notice. Alternatively you can walk in to the bar upstairs for snacks and dessert, or email reservations@chezfifinyc.com to reserve a group dinner for around six people in a cozy, curtained-off private room." - Sonal Shah
"A newly opened restaurant in the Upper East Side, it is a sibling to Michelin-starred Sushi Noz and Noz 17." - Melissa McCart
"Chez Fifi offers a decadent menu including a half-chicken with foie gras jus, fries, and a side salad, and features a cozy salon for after-dinner cocktails." - Eater Staff
"This uptown team behind Michelin-starred Sushi Noz and Noz 17 has opened the luxe Chez Fifi, led by chef Zack Zeidman, an Estela alum. It’s expensive, but very good out of the gate, pulling in a youngish crowd (for uptown) in the two-story townhouse. Named for the late mother of the owners, Joshua and David Foulquier, Firouzeh (who went by Fifi), the restaurant serves a collection of French and Basque dishes. Order the chicken with foie gras and a salad, as well as dishes like the txangurro, Basque deviled crab you eat right out of the shell, or the Dover sole a la plancha. Upstairs, it’s an arty cocktail bar that features works by Calder and Miró." - Emma Orlow, Eater Staff
"A French and Basque restaurant with an art collection, named for the owners' late mother." - Emma Orlow
